EDITORS COMMENTS
The Winged Boot - a symbol of resilience and triumph in the face of adversity. This print captures the essence of the Late Arrivals Club, an exclusive fraternity within the Royal Air Force comprised of pilots and crew members who have defied all odds. These brave individuals have experienced enemy action that forced them to abandon their aircraft either in mid-air or on hostile ground, only to return later than their estimated time of arrival. The Winged Boot badge represents their remarkable stories of survival and determination. Many among this esteemed group were once feared lost, yet they persevered against unimaginable challenges. Walking long distances back to their squadrons became a testament to their unwavering spirit. Dated 31st July 1941 during World War II, this photograph encapsulates the fortitude exhibited by these RAF heroes during one of history's darkest periods. The emblem serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, courage can prevail. This image from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and unity. It pays homage not only to those who wore this badge with pride but also commemorates all servicemen who fought valiantly for freedom during WWII. Let it serve as a timeless tribute to our unsung heroes.
